Chapter 1521: Made a Move

Wang Xiaoyan and Butler Mu felt the strange atmosphere after a brief whisper! Both Wang Songshan and Wang Ruoshui had faint sorrow painted on their faces.

It was definitely not the kind of happy mood about Wang Ruoshui’s sudden return! There should at least be a cheerful atmosphere even if there were no celebrations since Wang Ruoshui, who had been missing for many years, had returned after twenty-five years.

However, the current atmosphere was different. Even Wang Xiaoyan felt the strange atmosphere in the study despite her not coming home much. Butler Mu, who lived in the Butterfly Castle, naturally noticed it, “Master, did something happen at home…?”

“What did you notice?” Wang Songshan was slightly surprised that Butler Mu felt something wrong before he even said anything, but he did not find it weird as Butler Mu had been by his side for many years. Anyway, he had to talk with Butler Mu about this matter sooner or later. He might as well tell him now since he had already mentioned it. Butler Mu was a member of the Butterfly Family, so he eventually had to know that there was such a big problem in the family.

“I felt that the atmosphere is a bit strange. Miss… The family should be happy when Miss Ruoshui is back, but I feel that the family is not happy, but rather… How should I describe? It feels slightly gloomy… ” Although Butler Mu couldn’t guess what had actually happened in the house, his sensitive instinct could still sense that something was wrong.

“Dad… It’s not just Butler Mu. I also feel that there is something wrong…” Wang Xiaoyan nodded.

“Since you all had asked, I will not hide it anymore…” Wang Songshan sighed and said, “Goode came here last night. Do you know why?”

“Goode? Why is he here again? Did he come to find me?” Wang Xiaoyan frowned when she heard Goode’s name. Goode would find thousands of reasons to get close to her every time she went back home and she would feel annoyed. Wang Xiaoyan clearly knew about his thoughts, but she had no interest in him. Wang Xiaoyan was Chinese after all, so she was not aesthetically inclined towards Europeans. Therefore, she had no feelings for Goode and it was impossible to develop any feelings.

“Yes, he came for you…” Wang Songshan nodded. “He heard that you were about to get engaged. He rushed over last night and suddenly broke in when your aunt, your fiance and I were having dinner together. You also know that the Douglas Family is very prestigious in Ello Town. Although Goode was a little arrogant as the heir of their family, our disciples in charge of Butterfly Castle’s guarded entrance did not dare to offend him. No one dared to go against him when he wanted to break in… ”

“Why does Goode have no standards?” Butler Mu frowned when he heard this, “He thinks that the Butterfly Family doesn’t dare to do anything with the Douglas Family and the Lancer Family sticking up for him. However, he went too far!”

“Going too far…” Wang Songshan smiled bitterly. “It was indeed going too far. He tried thousands of ways to thwart Yanyan’s engagement after he came and he spoke conceited nonsense. Ruoshui didn’t know who Goode was, and he didn’t know Ruoshui’s identity either. Goode’s words offended Ruoshui and her temper naturally would not let him get away easily. So Ruoshui slapped Goode’s face twice and even his teeth were destroyed… ”

Wang Songshan briefly explained the story to Wang Xiaoyan and Butler Mu. “With Goode’s temper, he would definitely not let this matter slip easily after being beaten for no reason. Not even if Ruoshui was my sister. So Goode laid down his words that he would teach the Butterfly Family a lesson within five days. Otherwise, he would not be surnamed Douglas! ”

“Dad, don’t tell me that you are worried just because of Goode’s ruthless words?” Wang Xiaoyan couldn’t help but feel baffled. Her father didn’t seem to be such a timid person, so why would he be afraid of someone’s words? ” Even if the Douglas Family becomes completely unreasonable, it was Goode being irrational first. Also, would the Douglas Family go against the Butterfly Family just because of this?”

“Miss, please be calm. Based on Master’s manner, Goode must have already caused trouble…” Butler Mu was mature and naturally understood that Wang Songshan would not be frowning just because of Goode’s ruthless words. It was impossible for Wang Songshan to take such a child’s words seriously.

The only possibility was that Goode had already made a move and caused big troubles to the family!

“That’s right… I wouldn’t take it seriously if it was just Goode’s words.” Wang Songshan waved his hand and said a little helplessly, “But Yanyan, your fiance was also there yesterday. He guessed that Goode was not simply talking after seeing his expression. The sharpness in Goode’s gaze had clearly shown that in his heart, he would never let this matter slip off easily!

“Ordinary people have a limit on how caustic their words would be if they were not sure whether they could take revenge. It would be impossible for them to boast. Similarly, Goode could have left after saying that he would give the Butterfly Family a lesson. There was no need to add on a five-day limit or say that he would not be surnamed Douglas!

“It was equivalent to blocking his retreat road! Originally, his ruthless words telling us to wait could mean one day or even ten years. His revenge would just be empty words with no deadline.

“However, he must be full of confidence if he added a five-day deadline and even tacked on a sentence swearing that he would not be surnamed Douglas otherwise!

“It was impossible for him to not consider that. He couldn’t fail his revenge because not only would Goode be ashamed, the entire Douglas Family would be ashamed too! He most likely couldn’t be the first heir of the Douglas family anymore if he said such words and does not achieve it!

“How would the elders let go of this opportunity to cause trouble easily when Goode had already declared publicly that he would not be surnamed Douglas anymore? As far as I know, the Douglas Family is not peaceful at all and there are internal fights everywhere. A few old fellows are not convinced by the fact that Goode became the first heir of the family. They are trying their best to topple Goode so that their grandsons could take the lead!

If Goode loses all his face outside, it wouldn’t make sense for these people to miss out on attacking him with such a good opportunity! So, do you think that Goode would do such stupid actions of digging his own grave? ”

Wang Songshan’s words made both Wang Xiaoyan and Butler Mu be lost in thought. Those words undeniably made sense – or in other words, the fiance’s analysis made sense.

However, Wang Xiaoyan had an indescribable sense of resistance towards her fiance who she had never met. She could not help but refute as it was his analysis, “Dad, you are scared just because of what he said? This isn’t your style, right? ”

“I wouldn’t be like this if it was just his words, but…” There was an unexplainable sadness on Wang Songshan’s expression. “In fact, he was right. Goode’s revenge had come!”

“What? Did the Douglas Family make a move?” Although Butler Mu had already thought about the worst-case scenario, Wang Songshan’s words still surprised him.

“Not the Douglas Family, but the Lancer Family!” There was a slight bitterness in Wang Songshan’s words when he said the name “Lancer Family.”

After all, the Butterfly Family might not be afraid of Goode if it was just the Douglas Family, but it involved the Lancer Family behind the Douglas Family. Wang Songshan had to weigh the pros and cons of it even if he was impulsive!

Chapter 1522: Wang Songshan’s Difficulties

Butler Mu couldn’t help but take a deep breath when he heard the words “Lancer Family” from Wang Songshan’s mouth! He knew that the Lancer Family and the Douglas Family were on completely different levels!

The Butterfly Family had an absolute advantage if they were in a battle against the Douglas Family, but had an absolute disadvantage against the Lancer Family!

Although the Butterfly Family was an assassin family, no one would believe that the Lancer Family did not have life-saving measures! Admittedly, the Butterfly Family had a lot of powerful assassinators, but how was it different from the Lancer Family?

They were super firearms merchants. Just talking about weapons and nothing else, the Butterfly Family couldn’t even go against them. The Butterfly Family might not have any benefits by fighting with them.

However, the Butterfly Family was not a pushover who could be bullied by anyone. Butler Mu said after thinking about this, “In this matter, it is obviously unreasonable for the Lancer Family to act. Our family is not afraid. I believe that we will fight back as long as they dare to act. Someone in the high society would definitely come out to reconcile by that time and it would be the Lancer Family who gets criticized!”

“Butler Mu, you misunderstood…” Wang Songshan waved his hand and sighed. ” We would risk getting injured and fight with them if the Lancer Family fought openly against us! However, they did not fight openly and instead played shadily.”

“Shadily? What’s going on?” Butler Mu was slightly startled after listening to Wang Songshan’s words but frowned immediately as if he understood something. “Are they going to make a fuss about the supply of firearms?”

“Last night, the Lancer Family’s master Thomas called me…” Wang Songshan nodded helplessly. “Thomas claimed that the firearms quota of the upstream supplier had been reduced and he can no longer supply firearms to the Butterfly Family…”

“Sure enough!” Butler Mu stared at him after listening. “A knife that kills without spilling blood. In this way, no one can say anything. His reasons are dignified and we can only suffer a bitter end!”

“Yeah, who would believe this crappy reason?” Wang Songshan said. “However, what can we do even if we don’t believe it and know that the Lancer Family is beating around the bush?”

Wang Songshan did not know that Thomas’s reason about an upstream supply quota reduction was going to become a “dream come true”. It would not simply be reduced, but completely gone by that time!

Would Thomas be in deep agony if he knew that his casual sentence would become a fact?

“Without the supply of firearms from the Lancer Family, our Butterfly Family… I’m afraid we would not just fall one or two classes…” Butler Mu was well aware of this matter’s consequences. “At that time, our ranking on the assassin ranking list… ”

“You’re right…” Wang Songshan nodded. “It is just a matter of time for the decline of the Butterfly Family without the Lancer Family’s support…”

“Did the Lancer Family make any demands when they did this?” Butler Mu suddenly thought of something and asked suddenly. In his opinion, this was meant to give the Butterfly Family a lesson but it was not profitable. There should be some purpose for the Lancer Family to do so.

“Indeed… the Lancer Family made some demands.” Wang Songshan nodded. “But their demands were excessive and I did not agree.”

“What were the demands ?” Butler Mu asked.

“Goode demanded to marry Yanyan…” Wang Songshan said. “According to Thomas, the Butterfly Family and Lancer Family would become in-laws in this way. Even if the special firearms quota was small, there will be no shortage on the quota for the Butterfly Family. ”

“Sure enough, they had another objective!” Butler Mu snorted coldly. “So did we come up with any countermeasures?”

“I wouldn’t be so distressed if I had come up with a solution.” Wang Songshan sighed. “I have thought of almost everything I could think of, but there is still no solution…”

“It is true that we have cooperated with the Lancer Family for so many years. We tried to find other firearms suppliers during the cooperation, but we failed.” Butler Mu nodded thoughtfully, “Although it’s not a good thing for the Lancer Family to hold back the Butterfly Family’s lifeline, some things are beyond our control. ”

“Yes, not that we did not try, but this result…” Wang Songshan waved his hand and said. “There is no meaning to talk about this right now… Let’s take it step by step…”

“Dad, why don’t you marry me to Goode?” Wang Xiaoyan felt strange. “This is not your character. Wouldn’t you do anything for the benefit of the family? Why now…”

Wang Songshan suddenly blushed as he heard Wang Xiaoyan’s words and he coughed awkwardly. ” *Cough* Yanyan, how could you say that? Didn’t I promise you that you could break the engagement this time? How would I still force you to marry Goode? ”

“But before this, you…” Wang Xiaoyan was surprised. Her father’s decision this time seemed easy. No matter how aggressive the Lancer Family was, he didn’t compromise or have the thought to marry Wang Xiaoyan to Goode!

However, according to her father’s previous thinking, he would do anything that benefits the family interests. If it weren’t so, Wang Xiaoyan’s relationship with Wang Songshan would not have become so tense or even intolerable! This caused Wang Xiaoyan to run away from home for so many years. But now, Wang Songshan seemed to be a different person.

“Before this… your engagement was set by your grandfather. Firstly, your fiance was outstanding. Secondly, it was the Butterfly Family’s rule set by your grandfather… Thirdly, I always had a knot in my heart because Ruoshui couldn’t be with the King of Assassins at that time, so I wanted to promote your marriage with this generation’s King of Assassins.” Wang Songshan looked at Wang Xiaoyan lovingly and said the worries he had for many years. “I set a goal for you to build an assassin group that was more powerful than the Butterfly Family. Only when you achieved it could you control your marriage by yourself… In fact, it was just an excuse for me!

“You should be clear about whether you have achieved this goal by now. Although it has not been achieved yet, I still agreed for you to break the engagement. Have you ever thought about the reason? ”

Wang Xiaoyan couldn’t help but feel moved after listening to Wang Songshan’s words. Yeah, she had not achieved the goal. Although her assassin group was now flourishing, it was still very difficult to surpass the Butterfly Family. The foundation and concrete details were still shallow after all. They could not surpass the Butterfly Family so easily even if the Charles Family was integrated.

However, her father suddenly changed his mind and promised her to break off the engagement. Did she blame her father wrongly? Maybe her father had his own difficulties in the position of the family master.

Indeed, it was difficult for her father as this generation’s family master to overturn the previous generation’s decision made by her grandfather that year. There must be a reason even if he wanted to. That means the promise between them was to overthrow this decision…

Actually, Wang Xiaoyan did not know that it would not be as easy to overthrow her grandpa’s decision if her current boyfriend was not Yang Ming! The words of the previous generation family master were like a decree in such a large family!

Just like the imperial families in the past, the ancestral rules were immutable! Changing the rules left by the ancestors was not something that could be casually decided by later generations!

This was why although many emperors in the past seemed to have overflowing power and their words were gold, even the most powerful of them would be powerless if the chancellor stated an ancestral rule as principles were involved.
